باخلٌ لا لإلفهِ

وضنينٌ بعطفهِ

With a tender glance from those eyes,

And a gentle incline from that cheek,

والذي مُلكَ القلو

بَ فدانَت لطرفهِ

He who has ruled all hearts,

Gave himself up to a mere glance,

والذي دونَ نصفهِ

دانَ ما فوقَ نِصفهِ

He to whom all bow below the waist,

Bowed to one above the waist,

صِل كئيباً متيماً

رامَ وِداً فأصفهِ

Join a longing lover,

Who sought affection, yet was refused.
